    Those two guys knew exactly how to craft the perfect love song. The melody and lyrics are perfect and the harmonies sublime. God, they were good!

    Julian Ovenden 8 years on and he played the French plantation owner in South Pacific at Chichester Festival Theatre. One word describes his performance - stunning.

    JULIAN AND SIERRA! WOW!
    Julian and Sierra are both amazing talents- two of the best singers ever! I think they are simply wonderful together.
    In my view, they are the new versions of Gordon McRae and Shirley Jones! How wonderful!

    Rogers and Hammerstein had so many hits and wrote extraordinary music and lyrics. The Sound of Music; South Pacific; The King and I; Oklahoma; and many others. And I was lucky enough to live in NYC and see them all on Broadway with the original casts.

    If I Loved You and the sublime People Will Say We're In Love were both written because Carousel and Oklahoma needed a 'love song' at the end of the first act but it wasn't time in the story for the characters to be really in love. What a brilliant idea both songs were and so true to the hesitant, questioning way two people really do fall in love.

    Carousel was the first musical I watched as a kid along with Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals. They were the reason I became a Theater fan. To this day, I would sing "If I loved you" during my childhood. Sierra really does a brilliant take on this heartbreaking song with that amazing voice.

      Lovely legato from both. Sierra goes a tad sharp on high notes when she puts intensity into the sound....I hope she will work to correct this. Julian a bit too
      " refined" here, needs some element swagger and naughtiness!. But a wonderful performance from both.

      Of course, it is difficult at best and perhaps inequitable to compare performers from one generation to those of another-especially to those who originated roles so very long ago. Still, I can state that this performance is as close to perfection as Rogers and Hammerstein could envision.

My speakers on the pc are better than she has. NC.

    Julian Ovenden is one marvelously sensitive young man. He sees and feels the meaning in every syllable he sings then projects it with beautiful lyric intensity. A fine, highly polished performer is he, but I miss a certain element of swaggering loutishness -- of toughness -- that is an essential part of Billy Bigelow's character. Even so this is a very touching performance of possibly the most beautiful song in American musical theater.

    I'd gaze absent-minded at the roof,
    And half the time the shuttle'd tangle with the threads
    And the warp'd get mixed with the woof,
    If I loved you?
    But somehow I can see just exactly how I'd be....
    If I loved you,
    Time and again I would try to say
    All I'd want you^ to know- - - -
    If I loved you,
    Words wouldn't come in an easy way.
    Round in circles ^ I'd go- - - -
    Longin' to tell you ^ but I afraid and shy,
    I'd let my golden chances ^pass me by- - -
    Soon you'd leave me,
    Off you would go | in the mist of day,
    Never, never ^ to know- - - -
    How I loved you,- - - -
    ^ If ^I loved you- - - - - -
